body
Summary
Summary
The internal chairs of the Judicial Council recommend that rule 10.63, on an advisory committee on fiscal affairs, be amended to rename the committee the “Advisory Committee on Audits and Financial Accountability for the Judicial Branch.” An important function of government is to ensure that public funds are properly spent and accounted for. Rule 10.63 would be amended to more clearly prescribe the duties of the committee. The amendments to the rule would also expand the membership of the committee to include at least one appellate clerk/executive officer and at least one nonvoting advisory member who has significant governmental auditing experience.
